Whirlwind looks extremely Terran favored with a close proximity for 4 bases and them all being on high ground.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

Whirlwind looks great! Muspelheim I don't really like: it looks like another Ohana in that there's a lot of tight choke points that are very unfriendly to zerg players. Zergs are going to rely as a result on a lot of counter attacks instead of straight up fights, because unlike Ohana there are many more routes to counter.

both maps look like nice macro maps. at least three base play should work.
on whirlwind the fourth should also be reasonably easy to take...
and bye bye dualsight! hope we never meet again.

a bit off topic, but why wont all these divisions like ladder, nasl, mlg, gsl, ipl etc. have one universal map pool? It would help every1 amirite?

Have two issues with Whirlwind:

1. Map size is 160x160, making it just as big as Calm before the Storm, a map that was notorious for simply being too large.
2. While I like how the first 3 bases pan out, the 4th feels far too easy to take; there is little to no additional effort if you've already managed to secure 3 bases, so long as you can keep control of that middle area between the 3rd and 4th.

All in all, I expect this map to pan out similarly to how Calm Before the Storm did. Very economically greedy, death ball-oriented, unless someone tries to do some sort of proxy cheese to avoid the inevitability.

Muspelheim seems quite decent, though; I don't have any immediate concerns about the map. Map size is reasonable for a 2-player map, plenty of both chokes and more open areas to allow for different engagement positions depending on the matchup, and while the overview image doesn't do it justice, some of the aesthetics on the map are really cool.

I wonder if Metropolis will have any tweaks to help TvZ in the GSTL, or whether they'll be happy to leave it as is given the role sniping and map picking plays in team leagues anyway.

Its gonna make mech a lot more appetizing, which I do not mind, even as a Protoss player. These maps are also gonna be great at deflecting drops and muta play, which are also quite nice. I think its a good map. Discourages bio and encourages mech.

A+!

what are the pipes behind the minerals on Muspelheim??
Are those to prevent situating drops behind minerals?

The map pool is way to large imo. I'm on Tyler's side with that thinking that a smaller map pool would benefit the tournament.
The new maps look cool though.


How do you propose they play a bo9 series with less then 9 maps?


YOU CAN PLAY MAPS MORE THAN ONCE I KNOW IT CRAZY HUH

You could just play a few maps more than once, I don't get the point.

That sort of ruins the format though. It's loser picks, and you can only use each map once. That's a very key aspect of the format, because you can pick a map you don't want them to bring out later, and there's a lot more strategy.


Or just have predetermined maps like Proleague and coaches have to decide which players play which maps beforehand. That requires even more strategy! D:


Why make yourself look like a dbag and type in all caps in an effort to belittle someone else? His point stands. Replaying maps is a poor format for team leagues. Playing each map once and allowing the loser to pick creates an additional layer of strategy in terms of picking, lineup order, etc.
